Thinking of this, several villagers ran to Xiuqi's workshop to confirm it.
Not only Zhangjia Village, but also people from Jianjia Village, Chenjia Village, Zhoujia Village and several nearby villages came to ask.
It can be said that the people of Quanyong County are beginning to get restless.
If they could save two or three taels of silver in a year, it would be considered pretty good.
Going back home, working in the county, you can only earn 12 to 15 copper coins a day.
And there is no freedom. If it were 15 copper coins, it would be very tiring and useless.
By this calculation, wouldn't it be easier to make money by picking herbs?
This was such a good news that not only the people in Zhangjia Village but also outsiders were equally excited.
"Xiuying, tell us honestly, is this true?" Wang Xiuying's elder brother Wang Dashi couldn't help but ask.
Last time when Xiuqi Poor Family invited guests, he also wanted to come and ask his sister.
But I thought that the workshop only hired people from Zhangjia Village.
I didn't want to embarrass my sister, so I didn't come over to ask.
But this time it was different, everyone in Quanyong County could do it, so he naturally didn't want to miss it.
Besides, their family life was not easy to begin with.
"Brother, it's true. Look, these are the medicinal herbs above. There should be quite a lot of them in the mountains!" Wang Xiuying said excitedly.
She was just wondering whether her elder and second brothers had received the news.
Are you planning to ask someone to go back and inform them?
I didn't expect them to come so early.
"Okay, okay, then big brother will go back and inform mom and the others!" Wang Dashi said with a smile.
"Go!" Wang Xiuying waved at him.
Not far away, Chi Jinzhong was looking at the villagers at the entrance of the workshop.
"So you plan to let the villagers collect these herbs!"
This is both a question and an affirmation.
At first he thought that Jian Xiu was going to go to the herbal medicine shop to buy these herbs, but he never thought that the method she mentioned was this.
I have to say, this is a very wise woman.
"Those herbs are actually quite common and can be picked by villagers. This will not only improve their lives a little bit."
Hearing these words, Chi Jinzhong was truly shocked.
Compared to those wives of marquises and generals in the capital who only knew how to attend various banquets, this daughter-in-law beside him really brought honor to him.
Because they had to collect medicinal materials and manage the workshop, Wang Xiuying and her colleagues were overwhelmed.
Jian Xiu was worried about what outsiders said, so she had no choice but to invite two more people.
The villagers were very fast, and within half an hour, the first group of villagers who had picked the fruits had returned.
They immediately took the herbs to the workshop, not for any other reason, but because Jian Xiu said that as long as they received the herbs, they would be paid in cash.
So, he carried the medicinal materials directly to the door of the workshop.
"Everyone, pay attention. This is the best stuff. The herbs are the best. They are not adulterated and are fresh!"
Jian Xiu walked up to one of the villagers and took the medicinal herbs next to him to show everyone.
After saying this, he turned to Wang Xiuying and said:
"Weigh it and count the money for Aunt Su!"
Wang Xiuying smiled and said "hmm", then said to Aunt Su: "Come here, please, let's weigh it first!"
"Hey, here I come!" Aunt Su said with a smile.
She came to the workshop early this morning to ask, and then went to pick them.
This must have been everywhere at the beginning, and the place is close, so it should have been earlier.
As more and more people come to collect silver, the places they collect will be farther and farther away, but it is said that for this silver, one must hurry up.
"Well, there are 24 kilograms in total. The best quality ones are two copper coins per kilogram, which means 48 copper coins. Here are the copper coins, take them!"
It wasn't until she held the silver in her hand that Aunt Su felt it was more real.
Not only Aunt Su, but also the villagers queuing at the entrance of the workshop were equally excited when they saw this.
"Isn't this Lao Su half a month old? He weighs 22 kilograms now?"
"Her whole family is here. Look at your basket. It might be more than 22 kilograms."
"Hey, mine isn't as clean as hers, nor as fresh as hers. I think mine is just average quality."
"Even if it's a medium-quality product, it's worth three copper coins and two pounds. I'm afraid it's a low-quality product."
"So what if they are inferior goods? Aren't inferior goods worth one copper coin per pound? These things aren't hard to find, isn't this like picking up silver? What's the matter?"
"......"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone nodded in agreement.
At this time, after hearing what everyone said, Mrs. Liu, who was at the end of the line, felt a little guilty.
They went to collect these herbs early this morning. Except for the eldest brother Zhang Zirong, the whole family went together.
She was not completely exhausted at first, but when she saw the herbs from Lao Su, she immediately felt guilty.
The ones picked by the eldest brother were better, but the ones picked by the second brother, Chen Sixi, and her old man were not so good.
Not only were there a lot of weeds mixed in, there was even a lot of dirt, and it had not been washed clean at all.
If Jian Xiu hadn't checked it later, it might have been easier to pass.
But if she were asked to come and check it out, she would be a low-quality product.
Compared with high-quality products, the price is half of that.
If it was before, she wouldn't care so much.
But ever since they discovered that their silver was missing last time, the Zhang family has become really penniless.
The most important thing is that the eldest grandson will also be born this year, which will cost a lot of money.
Look, the eldest brother Zhang Zirong now goes to the county every day to grab jobs.
It doesn't matter whether it's hard or not, the most important thing is that you can get ten copper coins at the end.
Originally, she was quite calm, thinking that even if her silver was gone, she would be fine. But when she thought that the small gold lockets and small gold bracelets had also disappeared, she became extremely panicked.
She didn't even know when those things disappeared.
These are all valuable things, and only the old man knows where these two things are hidden.
There was no way that other people would know, so her first reaction was that the old man had stolen it.
The two of them had quarreled and made a scene before, but Zhang Dashan just didn't want to admit it.
Up to now, both of them are having a hard time.
Zhang Dashan even yelled at me, saying he would divorce me if I continued to make trouble.
After these words were spoken, she didn't dare to continue making trouble even if she wanted to.
Her parents had passed away a long time ago. If she was divorced, she would have to live on the streets.
If it was before, she still had her children to rely on.
But what about now? Her son was in a mess, and her daughter didn't even want to talk to her.
But looking at Zhang Dashan's appearance, it didn't look like he had stolen those things.
